My favorite leader

Leaders are born, not made. I believe in this and right from the day Obama had started his campaign I found a "leader" in him. He may not be having all the experience in the world like the McCain's or the Bush's but he is pretty clear on what he is going to do and what is expected out of him. He is more than a person with ambitions. He is a "force" and I just can't stop the rush of adrenaline when listening to his speeches. Especially when he delivers his trademark phrases "we are going to do it", "change is going to come", the adrenaline just rushes to the peak.

The election day was finally there. I woke up an hour early than my regular schedule with the anxiety of catching up with the election results. I opened cnn.com and to all my delight the top story reads out "Obama is gaining momentum across all the states". Minutes later Dems took a clear lead of Ohio, the battleground state and a traditional strong hold of the Reps. As the time pass by, more and more states are taken by the Dems and all that Mc Cain could do is to "concede". It's official and Obama is the new American President. Three cheers to the "leader"!!!

The first phase and probably the easiest phase is over and he has done with ease by keeping his cool all the way. But the road ahead for him may not be any smooth. He is probably getting into the hot seat in the toughest of times. Nothing is going well for the Americans. I believe that he has all the capabilities to take care of these serious problems and wish him all the best in his tenure at white House!!
